Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | colon cancer |
| ICD-0-3 | C18 |
| Methods | qPCR, RNAi, Western blot, Flow cytometry assay etc. |
| Sample | colon cancer tissues, cell line (HCT116) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | In 80 clinical colon cancer tissues, HOTAIR and miR-125a-5p levels were higher than adjacent tissues, whereas caspase 2 was lower. RNA sequencing detected that miR-125a-5p was decreased after HOTAIR knockdown and miR-125a-5p mimics could rescue the apoptosis induced by HOTAIR deficiency. In order to find out whether HOTAIR is essential for cancer cell survival, we transfected a specific siRNA targeting HOTAIR (siHOT1) or scrambled siRNA (siNC) into HCT116, HeLa, HepG2, A549 and DU145 cells. Each siRNA depleted HOTAIR and led to concomitant apoptosis. |

| Title | MiR-125a-5p decreases after long non-coding RNA HOTAIR knockdown to promote cancer cell apoptosis by releasing caspase 2. |
